CRN is reporting that "Oracle is now fielding a free database." They go on to say, "The slimmed-down version of 10g is a 150-megabyte download. It is compact but compatible with its bigger brothers, with all the relevant APIs."
It's true: our new Oracle 10g Express Edition is available in beta release now from OTN on Linux and Windows from here. It comes pre-installed with HTMLDB. Sergio and Wim have a few more links to relevant tutorials.
For easy Java/J2EE development, our free JDeveloper 10g development environment works great with Oracle 10g Express Edition, too.
